A legal filing shows that part of Twitter's source code has been leaked and the social media platform owned by billionaire Elon Musk is seeking information on the person responsible.
According to the filing, various excerpts of Twitter's source code, which is used to run the company online, were posted on Github, a Microsoft-owned platform for sharing code for software development. FreeSpeechEnthusiast Github said it removed the code on Friday at Twitter's request.
The Mar 24 filing shows that Twitter asked the US District Court for the Northern District of California to order Github to produce all identifying information associated with the FreeSpeechEnthusiast user name.
It didn't say anything about how long Twitter's source code had been publicly available.
There was no immediate response from Twitter to a request for comment.
